On Tuesday, Affleck issued a statement on social media denouncing the actions of Weinstein, who produced his and Matt Damon’s breakthrough movie, Good Will Hunting. Many accused Affleck — though without evidence — of being aware of Weinstein’s proclivities and that it was an open secret.

Among the thousands of tweets, one person wrote, “He also grabbed Hilarie Burton’s breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though.”

Then Burton, who is now married to The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan, chimed in personally, saying: “I didn’t forget.”

The fan replied, saying, “I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s infuriating that people never bring up all the gross, predatory things he’s done.” Burton replied, “Seriously, thank you for that. I was a kid.” She later added, “’Girls. I’m so impressed with you brave ones. I had to laugh back then so I wouldn’t cry. Sending love.”

Burton, who was 21 at the time, also included a link to a video of the moment that exists online. On a subsequent clips show, TRL Uncensored II, Burton’s reaction to the incident was aired. “Girls like a good tweakage here and there,” she joked. “I’d rather have a high five.”

Burton isn’t the only celebrity to open up in the wake of the Weinstein rape and sexual harassment allegations. In the New York Times on Tuesday, actresses including Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow said they had been victims of Weinstein early on in their careers. Terry Crews also revealed that a “high-level” entertainment executive groped him.
